2009 WAS an interesting season to say the least, as the Blue Jays "TRIED" to compete in the dangerous AL East.
Now in the offseason, the clock is ticking on the 2010 season.

Jays sign SS Alex Gonzalez..

No, not that one...

According to the Jays' MLB.com Beat Reporter, Jordan Bastian, the club has reached agreement with this Alex Gonzalez...


..on a one-year contract worth $2.75 million with a $2.5 million club option for 2011.

Gonzalez, 32, posted a .238/.316/.453 slash line last year, splitting the season between Cincinnati and Boston. He totaled 8 HR and 41 RBI in a little over 400 AB. It's evident by this signing, and the one yesterday, that the Blue Jays are attempting to shore up their infield defence the best they can for a 2010 season that will feature yet another relatively inexperienced pitching staff. Between Gonzalez and John McDonald, the Jays now have to defence-first infielders who can split time at SS while plugging any holes at either 2B or 3B.
